Better Ocean. Better You.What we put into our food supply is what we get out of it. At Bulletproof, it is our mission to not only provide you with the best possible food and supplements imaginable, but to ensure future generations can do the same. The ocean is a very delicate ecosystem, with each species playing a critical role in maintaining Earth’s most valuable resource. Omega Krill Complex was formulated thoughtfully, with your health and the health of the planet top-of-mind. We followed the ocean near and far to bring you this one-of-a-kind omega supplement. Our fish and krill come straight from certified sustainable fisheries who are dedicated to minimizing environmental impact by following strict guidelines that support the fish and krill population, the population of their predators, and the health of their ecosystem.

Omega-3s are considered essential fatty acids, meaning your body can’t produce enough of them on its own and you must get them from food or supplements. While it may seem logical to simply eat as much fish as you can possibly stomach, supplementing your omegas from a pure and natural source may be the most healthful solution for three key reasons:

• Contamination: Unfortunately, the time and energy Bulletproof has put into partnering with our environmentally conscious partners isn’t the norm. Due to industrial contamination of many of our oceans—the larger the fish and longer it lives—the more likely it is to be contaminated with PCBs, mercury, pesticides and more.• Amounts: In order to get the full range of omega-3 cardiovascular and brain health benefits, clinical studies show you need to consume upwards of 1,700 milligrams of EPA and more than 900 milligrams DHA per day.4 That’s a fresh, wild-caught fish every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner—and if you’d prefer to go the route of a plain krill oil—you’d need to take a whole bunch. Or you can simply take two-servings of Omega Krill Complex per day.• Diversity: Omega-3 sources like krill and fish roe are complementary to typical fish oil forms because they are rich in phospholipids. Phospholipid bound omega-3 DHA is more readily absorbed into brain tissue.That is why Omega Krill Complex contains a diverse mix of 100% wild caught fish and krill—sourced straight from pure waters and sustainable fisheries—never farmed or genetically modified. This unique combination of Antarctic krill, Norwegian herring roe, and Pacific sardine, anchovy and mackerel was specifically chosen to offer an ideal balance and dose of omega-3s in phospholipid and complementary forms. Due to the pristine cold waters in which they live, in addition to their small size and short life spans, all of them have minimal risk of exposure to oceanic toxins when compared to other fish. To ensure purity and potency, it is also strictly tested by a third-party lab.

Common QuestionsQ: Why herring roe oil? What is it?A: Fish roe (fish eggs) oil is commonly referred to as the caviar of fish oil because it is packed with powerful nutrients meant to cultivate new life—including high natural levels of phospholipid-bound DHA in a 3-to-1 DHA-to-EPA ratio. More importantly, the spring-spawning herring used are already being wild caught by a certified and sustainable fishery, meaning the harvesting doesn’t require additional fishing or impact on their ecosystem.

Q: Are the fish sources certified sustainable?A: All of the fisheries we’ve partnered with for Omega Krill Complex are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) or Friend of the Sea to ensure they exceed international sustainability and purity standards.

Q: Is Omega Krill Complex pure and free from contaminants?A: Yes. In addition to meticulously selecting fisheries who exceed international standards in both sustainability and purity standards, Omega Krill Complex is third-party lab tested to ensure both purity and potency.

Q: What is hydroxytyrosol from olive fruit?A: Hydroxytyrosol is the naturally occurring polyphenol in olive fruit responsible for olive oil’s amazing cardiovascular support. When combined with fish oil and omega-3s, hydroxytyrosol can help protect them from oxidation.

Q: How is the olive fruit processed?A: As a part of olive oil production, the olive fruit goes through a solvent-free natural extraction process of olive polyphenols to standardize the hydroxytyrosol.

Q: What are the sources of the wild fish oil concentrate?A: Small cold-water sardine, anchovy and mackerel were specially selected due to their high omega-3 content and low potential for contamination due to their small size and relatively short lifespan. They are wild caught by a certified sustainable fishery deep in the Pacific Ocean, far from environmental contamination.

Q: What is the source of the lemon oil?A: California lemons.

Q: Is there anything I can do to reduce the fishy burps I get when I take fish and krill oils?A: Some people may experience the taste of fish if they burp after taking krill and fish oil supplements. This is because the valuable fatty acids begin their digestive journey in the stomach. To mitigate this experience, some people may choose to refrigerate (or even freeze) their bottle and/or take along with a diverse, flavorful meal.

The Recipe to Maximize Fish OilAntarctic KrillThis small crustacean plays a critical role in the food chain by providing a healthy meal for ocean carnivores. Due to much research, humans are now catching on. Unlike fish, krill oil has two components that assist them in surviving the frigid waters of the Antarctic Ocean. The first is astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant that protects the cells and the oils from oxidative damage. Additionally, krill’s fatty acids EPA and DHA are bound to phospholipids—or little fat packages that are able to easily pass through your cellular membranes to deliver them since human cells are largely made of phospholipids. Omega-3s in phospholipid form are complementary when combined with those derived from fish oil.

Norwegian Herring RoeThe roe (fish eggs) in Omega Krill Complex is sourced exclusively from spring-spawning Norwegian herring. Commonly referred to as the caviar of fish oil, Romega® herring roe is packed with powerful nutrients meant to cultivate new life—including high natural levels of phospholipid-bound DHA in a 3-to-1 DHA-to-EPA ratio. This roe is unique not only because of its nutritional profile, but because it is environmentally friendly. The spring-spawning herring are already being wild caught by a certified and sustainable fishery. Meaning the harvesting doesn’t require additional fishing or impact on their ecosystem.

Pacific Sardine, Anchovy and MackerelWhile krill is uniquely beneficial due to its phospholipid-bound EPA and DHA, it takes a whole lot of it to meet the clinically-supported doses of EPA and DHA in a day’s supply of Omega Krill Complex. For complementary sources of EPA and DHA, we’ve combined Antarctic krill and Norwegian herring roe with wild-caught Pacific sardine, anchovy and mackerel to pack more benefits in two servings of Omega Krill Complex (a daily dose).

Natural AstaxanthinThe thing that will immediately catch your eye when you open a bottle of Omega Krill Complex is the beautiful, deep ruby red softgels. That color is all-natural, and it’s how you can tell it is packed with the powerful carotenoid antioxidant astaxanthin and krill oil. The only two natural sources of astaxanthin are the microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis) that make it and the ocean life that eat the algae. It is a staple in the diet of krill and salmon, which is where they get their brilliant pigment. Omega Krill Complex is boosted with astaxanthin from these microalgae because it helps protect fatty acids and human cells from oxidative damage, resulting in whole-body benefits.5 You get eight times more astaxanthin in one serving of Omega Krill Complex compared to the same amount of just krill oil.

GLA (Gamma-linolenic Acid) from Borage SeedAlthough technically considered to be essential fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids as a group have gotten a bad rap due to a specific omega-6 called arachidonic acid—a precursor to pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. However, there is another beneficial type of omega-6 fatty acid called GLA. GLA is hard to come by in the traditional diet and has been used due to its powerful ability to support healthy skin.6 The GLA in Omega Krill Complex comes from borage seed (Borago officinalis), or starflower, a perfectly symmetrical flowering plant with deep blue petals. Borage seed is the highest-potency natural source of GLA available.

Hydroxytyrosol from Olive FruitFish and olives represent two of the main foods in the Mediterranean diet, a diet historically rooted in traditional eating habits proven to promote health and longevity. In addition to omega-3s from fish, the olive fruit polyphenol hydroxytyrosol has shown powerful cardiovascular benefits.7 And it can help protect the omega-3s in fish oil from oxidation.
